VMAC’s digital throttle control for air compressor

Dec 16, 2019

VMAC’s Underhood and Direct-Transmission Mounted air compressor systems for service vehicles now feature a Digital Throttle Control that connects to a vehicle’s OBD2 CAN data bus connector and is designed to zero in on rpm setpoints faster and more efficiently with minimal revving. Once the throttle control is plugged in, adjustments to base idle and max air idle typically aren’t needed, as the system is engineered to automatically find the right settings for the air compressor’s CFM output. Troubleshooting codes and LED diagnostics panel help provide comprehensive explanations of any issues.
